The watercolors in this album present a guide to the most retro and charming little shops and restaurants in Tokyo. Corners of great beauty, for which time seems to have stopped, but which at the same time are disappearing, swallowed up by the modern capital. A book full of curious details about Japanese culture and architecture, which also includes maps and a detailed explanation of the materials and the creative process of the illustrations.
